Redfern Reconciliation Bridge Walk

The Block and inner city aborginal rights have never been more under
threat (well, not since Captain Cook and co handed out the smallpox
blankets). Supporters of indigenous people are mobilising for a BIG DEMO
starting at the TNT towers this Thursday evening, 6pm for 6:30. They want
THOUSANDS of people walking across the bridge (Redfern railway bridge,
that is), so let's MOBILISE / RENT A CROWD! Text of attached flyer
follows:

Redfern Reconciliation Bridge Walk
Candle Light Vigil


THURSDAY 9TH JUNE 6.30-7pm
Meet at 6.00pm
in front of Redfern Waterloo Authority office,
Regent St & Lawson Sq (old TNT building)

Support Aboriginal housing on The Block

This land was given to the Aboriginal people for housing
by the Whitlam Labor government
It’s time that the housing was built

Until recently the Carr Labor government supported this vision
The state government’s Redfern Waterloo Authority
no longer supports Aboriginal housing on The Block

Take the next step for reconciliation in Redfern
